See how ElevateHer supports women in tech at Entelect, with mentorship, skills development and a community where you're backed to thrive.
ElevateHer began as a bold idea at Entelect. Sixteen talented women, backed by senior leadership, came together to create meaningful change in how we support and advance women in technology.
What started as a grassroots initiative has evolved into a comprehensive programme that builds a workplace where women are supported, celebrated, and empowered to thrive through mentorship, skills development, and community.
According to Women in Tech ZA.
Representation in our industry still has a long way to go, so we're focused on making sure the women here feel supported, included and empowered.
Up from 32% the year before, and ahead of the national average four years running.
Our next generation of leaders is getting more diverse every year.
